Story: Hi everyone! I'm Gina, in Atlanta. I'm a 33 year old single mom of a great little 7 year old boy named Taye. When we get some free time, we both like to conduct "experiments" in the kitchen. His current culinary masterpiece at the moment is Grilled Cheese. And he gets to be my guinea pig for whatever interesting things I come across on the lists. I love cooking and great food, but my real passion is collecting vintage cookbooks from old over the world. My collection is well on it's way past 200 now with no end in sight for the foreseeable future. I'm glad to be part of this great list and community and hope you will all like some of my favorite recipes that I'll be sharing. |

Story:  Hi ! My name is Ted but everyone calls me "World Famous" because I travel 150 to 200 days per year with my job. I'm a service manager for a company the builds railroad equipment. I'm a 54 yr. old widower. I was married for 20 yrs and my wife died in April of 2002. My daughter and Granddaughter both live with me in Georgia. I enjoy cooking and I do most of the cooking when I'm at home. I have been a member for some time but have never gotten on the message board before or posted a profile so I thought it was about time!
I really enjoy some of the recipes that I have found in this group. I do get to sample foods from all over the world, which is one of the benefits of my job. This is a fun site |

Story: Hi, I'm Rosie I'm 27 years old and have a 3 year old little boy named Bj. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for the last 5 years. Although I consider myself a "competent" cook, I'd really like to start cooking more. I only have a hand full of recipes that I use which has become extremely boring.
I hadn't realized that we spent so much money eating out until we reviewed our budget last month. We are expecting to purchase a nice family car next month for our hopefully expanding family. And I was shocked to realize we had about $800.00 dollars a month disappearing a month mostly to eating out. I enjoy cooking just really don't know how. In the hopes of saving money and spending some well deserved family time around the dinner table I've joined! |

Story: I am a 55 year old busy lady working full time in management in banking. No time to cook, but want to do so anyway. In need of easy, quick, delicious one-pot meals to fix for my husband who is also in banking. We are so busy, we sometimes grab a bite at 9:00 PM which is not healthy for either of us or just bring something home after work. Want to cook, just don't have the time. When we first got married in 1995, I did cook, but jobs got more involved, we moved, etc. Just got out of the habit and now it is hard to get back. Help! |

Story: My name is Aiele, and I am a high school teacher with three.....yes three....teenage boys. Needless to say even if I wanted to cook I don't have much time, as teaching is a 24/7 job....and my principal believes school comes before family.....or so it seems since she tends to call on the spur of the momment meetings frequently. So I need help in finding good and quick recipes to feed the bottomless pits my sons have become. Thanks for letting me join.  Aiele |
